I have a massive social conscience and on many major issues,you have no idea what other things I fight for and believe in,this thread is not about them though.
In political life,if I go into active politics,I will be fighting and trying to change many major issues and problems for people in the Country and the World in general when I can as passionately as I believe in getting rid of this licence fee if I can do anyhting to hasten that.
What an extraordinary comment to make considering this thread deals only with the BBC and the licence fee and not those other issues affecting the world.
Having said that I do feel putting £145 a year back to people to do whatever they want with is not a trifling issue really. |
My point was aimed at your statement that abolishing the license fee is a big part of your emphasis. You can't have too many areas for such things as you'll spread yourself too thinly, and achieve nothing. I find it astounding that this is a consideration in political life.
It's a populist idea. The problem, is that once this was done, there is no way to change it back. So let's see how people are when all that is shown on the BBC is Towie.
It's so short sighted, and you'll probably realise this as you get older. Sun headline populism doesn't make great politics.
